Do the hussle.

Um, is this the guy that the university professor signed on to manage? They may need one of those newfangled dictionaries.

See if you can find the unconventional usage in Hankins' press release, pledge a buck to help spellcheck, and know how hard it is for me not to make a Mike Sodrel joke in this space.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 5, 2010

Columbus-Today, Travis Hankins officially filed as a Republican candidate for Congress in Indiana's 9th District. After filing Travis hussled back to his office to call voters in Brown County.
Never fear, because the Urban Dictionary lends valuable interpretive assistance:
hussled

To knowingly take advantage of, or steal from an individual, or corporation at your own will.
Hellfire, Maude, I dun knowd that 'bout them fundamennaliss.

  5. I don't buy into the Hankins platform at all but, in fairness, I have to say I appreciate his issuing debate challenges.
